Dear Friends,
The Word of Life
A reading from the first Letter of St. John 1, 1 – 10:
What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we looked upon and touched with our hands concerns the Word of Life–for the life was made visible; we have seen it and testify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life that was with the Father and was made visible to us–what we have seen and heard we proclaim now to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; for our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. We are writing this so that our joy may be complete.
Now this is the message that we have heard from him and proclaim to you, God is light, and in him there is no darkness at all. If we say, “We have fellowship with him,” while we continue to walk in darkness, we lie and do not act in truth. But if we walk in the light as he is in the light, then we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of his Son Jesus cleanses us from all sin. If we say, “We are without sin,” we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we acknowledge our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from every wrongdoing. If we say, “We have not sinned,” we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
I did not write a message yesterday because I had gone to the town of Summerside in the morning and while there a huge snowstorm started. I could not come home so I slept in Summerside and came home on Thursday afternoon. The snowstorm is over and we had sunshine all day Thursday.
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“You know that I am the Way, the Truth and the Life and My dear Mother calls Herself the Mother of Life and that is what She is. I work together with My Heavenly Father and so I am the Word of Life. You have received the gift of life and so you can thank the Father and I for giving you this great gift. You are to respect life especially human life. Respect your life and the life of every other human being. A human being’s life begins at conception and he or she will never lose that life. If you follow Me, you will come to heaven and live forever. If you reject Me, you will go to hell and live there forever. Once a person is created, his or her life will never be extinguished. Life is the first gift of a human being and it comes directly from God. So you are to respect each person for they come from God. Each person should walk with God and this means that every person should live in the light for God is light. Those who live in the light will surely be saved. I want you all with Me, so come and follow My light. I bless you.”
Father Melvin
P.S. Christmas is near and many are preparing for the great feast. May the Lord bless you all and fill you with the joy of Christmas.
